Since about 8 this morning, about every 30
seconds, I get these stabbing pains in my
stomach, right above my navel. They last
1-2 seconds, and occur every 30. I'm not
pregnant, premenstrual or anything like
that. It's not hunger pains or acid reflux
either. It feels like someone is stabbing
me right in the belly button.
Do you have constipation?
Have you ever had any digestive disorder
like gastritis, acid reflux, indigestion,
vomiting, being bloat etc.?

None of that....
I went to the doctor yesterday and they
were thinking I had gallstones. They sent
me to the hospital to have an emergency
ultrasound, but it came back negative.
The doctor called me at home and let me
know the results were negative but she
said it was most likely viral due to my
high white blood cell count.
I do also have a cold that I have been
trying to get rid of for the last few
weeks, couldn't that make my white blood
cell count high too?
The pain is almost unbearable when it
comes along... the pains last about 3-5
seconds but are not as frequent as the
last 2 days.
So basically I spent over $300 in
co-payments for nothing. Still in pain,
still don't know what is causing the
pain.-
How much the white blood cells were
elevated?
Which fraction of white blood cells
(granulocytes, lymphocytes or monocytes)
was elevated?
Do you have diarrhea?
Do you have any gynecological problems?

No other problems. I have the Mirena IUD.
I believe she said the count was at 4%...
she didn't say which type of white blood
cell though.
Elevated white blood count suggests that
you might have some infection but can't
locate the source of infection. It could
be intestines but upper respiratory tract
(cold) is also possible.
It seems the your abdominal crams are
calming.
I thing you should not fell sorrow for the
money you spent if you get better.
